SHARJAH (UAE): Thursday, December 15: Team Sweden’s veteran Jonas Andersson claimed a stunning pole position for Friday’s Road to Sharjah Grand Prix of Sharjah with a potent lap of 47.64sec on Khaled Lagoon.
The defending World Champion and winner of the Sharjah race in 2019 held off a fierce challenge from Team Abu Dhabi’s championship-leading Shaun Torrente and China CTIC Team rival Philippe Chiappe to claim the top spot, as he bids to put in a late charge to try and retain his world title.
Andersson said: “The weather was very strange and the conditions were rough. It was a tough qualifying. I am delighted to claim pole and now we must follow that up with a good performance in the race itself.”
